In the late 16th century, the wealthy [[Magnani]] family from Bologna commissioned a series of artworks based on the Roman foundation myth. The artists contributing works included a sculpture of Hercules with the infant twins by Gabriele Fiorini, featuring the patron's own face. The most important works were an elaborate series of frescoes collectively known as ''Histories of the Foundation of Rome'' by the Brothers Carracci: [[Ludovico Carracci|Ludovico]], [[Annibale Carracci|Annibale]], and [[Agostino Carracci]].
